Packaging Technology

Paper and packaging companies have been largely driven by output volume. However, this is no longer sufficient, and new business models and processes can illustrate a successful path into the future. Many organizations are aiming to design a system that better balances demand with production, focuses on profitability, and can also yield a more efficient operations and control system. This transformation requires real-time digital information and control in a digital paper and packaging enterprise.

LONDON, April 2, 2015 (Press Release) -In 2012 the Kemsley Mill undertook a major refit of Paper Machine 3. The rebuild allowed the mill to produce a triple-ply White Liner paper, with the strength and runability of a Liner 2 and the printability of a white Kraft liner.

Pre-production testing at a pre-print house and corrugator plants showed the paper to have a printability greater than any other Liner and equal to any Kraft liners then available in the UK.

OAKLAND, CA, April 3, 2015 (RISI) - International Paper's sale of its Carolina coated paperboard bristols brand to MeadWestvacowill give the latter control of the declining commercial printing grade, according to RISI contacts and capacity estimates.

IP said its decision to sell Carolina was a result of its plans to convert the Riegelwood, NC, mill to 100% pulp, "thereby eliminating the manufacturing capability to produce the brand."

MeadWestvaco Corporation, a global leader in packaging and packaging solutions, today released research findings from a study conducted jointly with Pennsylvania State University via a webinar hosted by QSR Magazine. The study reveals key insights into consumer preference and behavior regarding takeout packaging.
